So I had a long talk with my sister and brother-in-law this weekend while I was at there house for my birthday. On Wednesday I am going to sign up for the Navy and try my hand at being a SEAL. As of now i can meet all of the physical minimums to get into the BUD/S training. My training focus now has changed from getting giant, to being able to basically run/swim/do pushups, situps, and pullups all day. It's going to be at least like 6 months before I get shipped out, so I have that amount of time to change my body composition to better suite the training and exercises that will be required of me. I'll make a blog I suppose of my workouts and general thoughts as I get closer and closer to leaving. I am glad it is also wrestling season right now because that is going to help my endurance greatly.


What are the requirements/tests that you have to go through?


Well the minumum requirements that let you qualify to apply for the program are 42 push ups in 2 minutes, 52 sit ups in 2 minutes, 8 pullups, 1.5 mile run in 1130, and 500 yard swim in 1230. But if you can only do those you have a 6% chance of passing BUD/S. My brother-in-law is in the navy as an airman, and his buddy that is a recruiter was at the house this weekend and he said to be competitive, you need to be able to do 100+ push ups in 2 minutes, 100+ sit ups in 2 minutes, 20+ pull ups(no time limit), the 1.5 mile in sub 930, and the 500 yard swim in 8-9 minutes. And you only get like 2 minutes rest between each evolution.


Good luck! Have you seen this 6 part series about BUDS? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426761/

Thank you! Yeah I watched them all again over the weekend. Going to easily be the hardest thing I ever do in my life.

The first time i stalled on 80lb overhead I got to the middle of the 3rd set out of 5. Today was extremely embarrassing for me, I only went half of 1 set before I stalled yet again; I fully blushed. I'm thinking maybe it was because I only had 5 hours of sleep and I didn't get enough recovery, hoping I don't stall 3x in a row otherwise I have to deload 10%

@eshlow: hooked up with a girl with laryngitis on Saturday, last two days have been sore throat and stuffy/runny nose but nothing bad and I'm fine right now. smashed 30k vit d yesterday and today. now my throat kinda feels swollen, like if I touch my chin to my chest my throat feels tight. anything I should do for treatment?
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

That sucks. If you rarely take the vitamin D I would hit up another dose. Sometimes I've had to take 30k for a few days to clear up some stuff.

Pretty much sleep a lot is good and eat whole foods.

If it's bothering you a lot I'd see a doc.

Make sure you eat and sleep a lot. Also, I'd suggest brushing up on your technique before your next session. Good luck!

Moments in funny. Went to cardiologist today.

1) Jumped from off the weight curve, to like 5th percentile.
2) Mom bitched about my lack of cardio exercise. Previously had warned me against lifting too heavy because of heart problems.
3) Doctor told her that cardio exercise isn't that important, that I'm reasonably fit, and am in much better shape than I was before.

Must have hurt my ankle in yesterdays game - it was fine all day today, until I took a tackle on it during practice. Immediately felt a "shock" start at the ankle and race up the leg. I kept playing on it for ~1/2 and hour, but it just got worse and I eventually had to sit things out. There was a good amount of fluid/swelling around it it, the area was warm to the touch for a while, and I've got limited motion in it due to some swelling. Seems to be a classic sprain, so I'll have to take a day or two off and get better for this weekend.

On the plus side, I finally have a mouth guard, and I'm going to be getting a scrum cap so my damn ears don't fall off while I'm playing second row. Also made it to the gym tonight and had a pretty solid upper body lift - which is lagging for me, anyway. My lower body is already about as strong as anyone in the d3 part of this section, and as I've started playing junior year I'm not really a candidate to go d1 anytime soon. I'll keep squatting because I still want to put up three plates for reps someday, and I'll keep deadlifting because it's BALLIN, but I definitely need some upper body strength too.

Ah that sucks. RICE the fuck out of it and get a brace/tape and get back asap. I was out for like 4 days on mine so it wasnt bad, but my roommate is out for a month and running on his so hope its not that bad.

And if you want to start crushing kids and putting them in body bags, POWER CLEANS. Although that deadlift power sure is great for grinding through scrums and rucks.

a) move out

c) go for a short run once a week and LET HER KNOW every single time

I recently watched the so you think you can squat series and decide to try squatting looking up. I had a problem of looking to a spot that was too close, but that wasn't the main issue. It felt weird so i decided to record it:


I noticed i didn't go as deep as i normaly do, and was hoping you guys could help me out with it. The weight felt easyer, maybe just because of the lack of depth.


I'd say you are just trying a little bit too hard (which is pretty normal doing something for the first time) and sometimes it looks like you are throwing back your head just to get a glance at the ceiling (exaggeration of course). But just a slight nod upwards so that you do not look your mirror-self in the eyes is enough to get the desired effect. And yeah, the depth of those squats wasn't good.

Yeah simply do c) It's not like it'll harm you to go for a run once in a while. It's also a great recreational activity, so just do it.

Go for a brisk walk a few times a week. Cardio won't kill your gains if you eat enough, and although it is overrated, it's still pretty good for you.

Plus, at a walking pace, you're probably only burning like 100 calories/30 minutes anyway. Not hard to make up for. I think your gains are fine considering you've gained a decent amount of weight lately, so just make your mom happy and do a little bit of cardio. It seems like a good option to me.

I just ripped my shorts squatting! Manned up and finished my sets though.

First and last time I've worn those shorts to the gym. It's a big rip. Top to bottom.

Every time you lift.... say you're going out for some cardio. Do a short jog or walk for your warmup... then go lift.

Technically, you're doing "cardio" work what 3x a week with that?

There ya go.

Definitely RICE. Take some anti-inflams too since there's visible swelling.

Do ankle mobility work to maintain range of motion a couple times per day. Don't want to lose any

he took a bitch for a walk. and she loved it!

good to see everyone progressing and becoming huge monsters! i've made some progress as well recently. most notably 125kg squat 5-4-4. i've squatted more before but due to extensive breaks I was forced to reset to 100k recently. now trying to get my squat numbers up while maintaining bodyweight (85kg) or even lose some fat. going quite well so far!

up next: 155kg deadlift! (old PR is 180kg T_T but that was at 90kg bodyweight)
